The sushi was some of the best I've ever tasted, and the wood-burning stoves added a cozy touch to the ambiance. Every meal was a delight, with options catering to all dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan. The service was prompt and friendly, making the entire dining experience even more good.” view full review
